Gatorade's tribute to Derek Jeter shows him walking through the Bronx on the way to a game.

If nothing else, the 2014 MLB Season may be known as the 162-game send-off for Derek Jeter. All season long, the Yankees and opposing teams and fans have showered the Yankees great with gifts and standing ovations, paying tribute to an 18-year Hall of Fame career.

Earlier in the summer, Nike paid tribute to Jeter, accumulating stars from all over the country to tip their caps.

Now, Gatorade has joined the festivities with a fantastic ad showing Jeter taking a stroll through the Bronx on his way to a game with Frank Sinatra's "My Way" playing in the background.

"Me neither," he replies.
